Darkest Dungeon II
Darkest Dungeon II is a roguelike road trip game of the cursed. Assemble your party, outfit your stagecoach, and journey across a desolate landscape, using your last bit of strength to stop the apocalypse. But the greatest danger may come from within…
■ Be brave and step out into a confusing and unknown world.
Four heroes and a stagecoach stand between darkness and salvation.
■ Improved trial-and-error turn-based combat
Darkest Dungeon is back, the game that created the groundbreaking combat game genre! But this time, everything from the statistics to the rules has been revamped and improved. The new token system makes every player's decision more important, allowing for even deeper gameplay.
■ Unforgettable heroes
Experience each hero's tragic origin story in detail and unlock their full potential with new skills, paths, items and more.

Each expedition lasts from 30 minutes to a few hours, and even if you end it midway, you'll get some resources to help you on your next journey.
■ Altar of Hope
Use a huge number of upgrades and boons to unlock new strategies during your expedition. Plan your assault on the mountain according to what is important to you.
